<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 108142, member: 669&quot;]That won&#039;t solve anything.&nbsp; The problem with estimating the number of cents in a pound arises from the mix of weights: <ul> <li>Wheaties (except steel ones) weigh 3.11g</li> <li>Steel wheaties weigh 2.70g</li> <li>Bronze Memorials also weigh 3.11g</li> <li>Copper plated zinc Memorials weigh 2.5g</li> </ul><p>One pound (16-ounce common avoirdupois measure) contains 454g, so simple conversion math (and rounding) tells us that Bronze wheaties and Memorials run 146 to the pound, steel cents run 168+ to the pound, and there are 186 current cents in that same pound.</p><p><br /></p><p>A pound of randomly selected cents therefore <i>must</i> contain at least 146 coins, and <i>cannot</i> consist of more than 186.*</p><p><br /></p><p><i><blockquote><p>*The difference in weight between an MS70 and a P0 is so minimal that it probably wouldn&#039;t affect the count by more than 1, so maybe the upper limit should be considered 187. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p></blockquote><p></i><blockquote><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
